Narrative:
While taxiing back to parking, struck parked aircraft. I was in wwii P-40 and could not see directly in front of me. I was watching a marshaller and the crowd. Marshaller was directing me forward and I hit aircraft. The marshaller was probably too far away to rely on. Afterward, I had a&P check propeller who advised me it was 'ok.'
